Last season, wide receiver and return specialist Rashid Shaheed had a breakout season with the New Orleans Saints, earning All-Pro honors for the first time in his NFL career. In the first six games of the 2024 NFL season, Shaheed was showing promise with three receiving touchdowns and a punt return score. However, his season came to an abrupt end due to meniscus surgery, ruling him out for the rest of the year.

This news is a setback for the Saints’ offense, especially with Derek Carr also dealing with an oblique injury. With Shaheed out, Equanimeous St. Brown has been elevated to the 53-man roster.
